Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Hi Pierre, I am thinking about you as you get the final preparations for moving underway. Pierre, I am sorry that your wife and daughter are feeling sad about moving. Sometimes especially for women we have so many memories and emotions tied to our homes that is it hard to leave them. Your new apartment sounds so nice though, and the view is great. It will be an exciting place to live, and I'll bet in no time at all they feel at home in the new apartment. I also know it is hard to have one of our children leave the nest. Having gone through becoming an empty nester myself these last two years, it is a big adjustment. I am glad at least your daughter will make the move with you so you will have one of your children with you. I know it won't make up for missing your son though. We look forward to having you back on line soon!

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Pierre good luck with the move, don't wear yourself out too much. (ya right) Change always comes with a bit of sadness for what we are leaving behind, but if your family can continue to look forward I'm sure they will adapt quickly enough. Your new view sounds lovely. ) Amy > Well guys and girls, I've probably written my last email on the group for a > couple of days.
